i just finished rolling out a batch of these cookies and they are in the oven now. I had no problem rolling and cutting them out. I made three small changes but don't know if this affected them. First I add a 1/4 tsp of ground chia seeds to the egg replace and up the water by about 1/2 tablespoon. i did this because I think chia makes a more egg-like consistency but it does leave a few flecks in the dough. Second I doubled the vanilla because I love vanilla. Third I wrapped the dough in wax paper and stuck it in the freezer to chill while I preheated the oven. I was surprised the recipe didn't call for chilling the dough as every other sugar or rolled cookie recipe I've ever used says to chill the dough before rolling. I would suggest doing this. The cookies are coming out of the oven now and look perfect and the scrap I tasted was yummy!

Have you read The End of Food by Bill McKibben? Very fascinating (although depirsseng) discussion of sustainability and our food system. It doesn't really address veganism, unfortunately, but it raises many points I think you'd be interested in.

What a mess... the dough crumbled into pieces as I attempted to roll it out. I tried adding a little water or oil and nothing worked. After a lot of stress, I was able to get shapes cut out, but I got less than 40 cookies. I don't think I'll use this recipe again.

These are nice and buttery, but very tough and hard, as Brittany found. I rolled the second batch to about half the thickness -- really about 1/8" thick -- and that helped some. Still, I think there must be better vegan sugar cookie recipes out there!

I added a splash of oil and some instant coffee mixed with just a little little little bit of water... they were soooo goood. my dorm inhaled them :P

Kind of hard and crunchy. How can I make them softer and chewier?

I just made these for the first time and my almost 3 year old loves them (so do I)! I would also keep them on the thick side, but they're still really good crunchy too! This is a definite keeper!

I made these cookies with my 3 year old granddaughter and they ended up a melted mess all over the pan.

To help with the dough drying, I just add more vanilla or even a small splash of water until it's a rollable consistency. I make them all the time, year round, for all kinds of events and if you immediately keep them in a sealed container, they stay really moist. Also, keep them on the thick side or they tend to get crunchy.

i mixed the dough, but it doesnt want to stay together-it keeps crumbling. can anyone help???

cookies were amazing. got better with time.

I made these cookies with some children and they are not only easy to make but are really good.

cant wait to make these cookies

I made this recipe and the results were awesome. I added a little more butter and water whenever the dough became to sticky. Also I cut them on the thick side as suggested by previous reviews. Everyone loved them even the meat eaters.
